'Mush is a thick cornmeal pudding boiled in water or milk. It sits until the gel forms a semisolid state. In the United States, we lick it up with maple syrup or molasses, while in Eastern Europe it is served cold. It is a tasteless, innocuous food with little form or satisfaction.

'Q&A with Gene Tyndall , Global Supply Chain Strategy Expert. Q: How do you define demand-driven supply chains in today’s e-commerce landscape?

'They are a competitor of sorts, but I love what Big Brown does for the supply chain. They do a great job using their resources to inform and educate the public about our industry.

'Those were the good old days. Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) were the center of the cargo transportation universe and the shippers were fully reliant on them for all their logistics needs.

'Operations directors in passenger rail companies often tell me they’ve implemented integrated planning. What they usually mean is that they’ve implemented technical integration: data is automatically pushed from one system to another.

'Three Essential Warehouse Skills. After working in a warehouse for a few months I have come to realize that there are three main warehouse skills that make a good employee.
